Its goal is to accelerate advances in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymeme.org\/topics\/stem_cells_and_regenerative_medicine.cfm\">regenerative medicine<\/a>, which will become the standard of care for replacing all tissue and organ systems in the body within 20 years, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/reference\/newfuture.shtml\">according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services<\/a>. The first research team to construct a whole new complex organ (heart, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas) made from a person&#8217;s own cells &#8211; one that is functionally equivalent and successfully transplanted &#8211; will be awarded the NewOrgan Prize. The goal of the Methuselah Foundation NewOrgan Prize is to achieve this medical breakthrough within the next 10 years. Today&#8217;s launch is a call to action for competitors, candidates and contributors who want to participate in this crucial medical challenge aimed at extending healthy human life. &#8230; Based on our success in spurring medical advances with incentives provided by the original <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mprize.org\">Methuselah Mouse prize<\/a>, we anticipate that over $10 million will be raised by the time the NewOrgan Prize criteria is met &#8211; and the prize presented &#8211; to the leading medical R&amp;D team. At minimum, $1 million will be awarded to the research team that develops a whole new human organ that is functional and successfully transplanted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>View the Article Under Discussion: <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.methuselahfoundation.org\/2010\/04\/methuselah_foundation_launches_neworgan_prize.html\">http:\/\/blog.methuselahfoundation.org\/2010\/04\/methuselah_foundation_launches_neworgan_prize.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read More Longevity Meme Commentary: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymeme.org\/news\" \/>http:\/\/www.longevitymeme.org\/news\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Via the Methuselah Foundation blog: &#8220;Today Methuselah Foundation launched the NewOrgan Prize, the Foundation&#8217;s new longevity prize specifically focused on advancing the development of replacement tissues and organs for humans.
